Dropped the first game, dropped the third—but played brilliantly in the second, fourth and final games. We ran Notre Dame hard. We held their hitters to a .125 attack percentage in the match, we blocked well (twenty as opposed to their six), we had eighty-one digs!

Everyone was jumping up and down and hugging everyone else, Pong was beaming, we were all part of the OU family. (This, after Cricket and I set down our cameras to cheer in the final set.)
